Got a 10 year IP ban the other day.. this is what it said;
"Your ip address (**.***.**.***) has been banned from accessing this site, this is most likely due to past abuse.
Abuse from username: dwrization has earned this ip a ban until: 2022-08-04 20:49:06
If this is not your user, or you feel your ban is unwarrented, gather up your evidence and email nomad@hltv.org."
"Abuse from username: dwrization has earned this ip a ban until: 2022-08-04 20:49:06"
The user earned the IP a ban. Its not the account getting banned but its the IP getting blacklisted
